RICK FARIS
“Bend, Don’t Break”
DESCRIPTION:
It’s so easy to want to give up sometimes. Everyone feels that from time to time, but knowing that each obstacle makes you stronger for the next trial and that we are never alone in our struggles is sometimes all we need to push through and “bend with the wind.” Anyone can quit when circumstances get hard, but the real challenge is to make it to the other end victoriously.
